N. Korean defectors to erect statue in front of China embassy
SEOUL, Oct. 9 (Yonhap) -- A coalition of civic groups representing North Korean defectors who settled in South Korea said Tuesday it plans to place a statue of a girl in front of the Chinese embassy to protest Beijing's policy of forced repatriation of North Korean refugees.
The statue will be unveiled on Dec. 26 to mark this year's final rally against the Chinese government, which maintains the policy of repatriating North Korean defectors found on its soil to their homeland, where they face harsh punishment.
